Hi there, I’m Dr. Ben Hanson, and I want to take a moment to answer a question that I get asked quite frequently – what are dental implants? Dental implants are a remarkable solution for those who have lost a tooth or multiple teeth. They are an alternative to traditional bridges or dentures and are quickly becoming the go-to treatment for restoring a person’s smile and confidence.

A dental implant is a remarkable solution for restoring missing teeth. It is essentially a small screw made of medical-grade titanium, which is biocompatible, allowing it to fuse with the jawbone through a process called osseointegration. This natural bonding makes dental implants a permanent and secure part of the body. Once the dental implant has successfully integrated with the jawbone, it provides a sturdy foundation for a custom tooth restoration that can replace the missing tooth. With this innovative technology, patients can enjoy a fully functional and natural-looking smile. Which allows them to feel the confidence to eat, speak and smile without the fear of their teeth shifting or coming loose.

The beauty of dental implants lies in their success rate, which is quite high. Many patients who undergo dental implant treatment will have a replacement for their tooth or teeth throughout their life. The best part is that dental implants function just like natural teeth, giving you the ability to eat, speak, and smile with confidence. I am particularly passionate about dental implants because they provide a permanent solution that lasts a lifetime.

Unlike other dental treatments of the past, dental implants do not require the removal of healthy tooth structure, nor do they need to be taken out at night. Dental implants are a hassle-free and long-term solution that can enhance your oral health and your overall quality of life. If you are missing a tooth or multiple teeth, a dental implant may be the best solution for you.
